Greenvale, TN
Greenvale, TN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Greenvale at the 29th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 98 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Greenvale at the 31st percentile, close to its 29th-percentile risk score.
Greenvale's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 100% of Greenvale's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 98 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Greenvale compares
Greenvale's risk sits at a similar level relative to Tennessee (15th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (29th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenvale ranks 22,517 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,152 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 425 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
Greenvale and the insurance market
At the 29th national percentile, Greenvale rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Greenvale's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Greenvale's figures come from
Greenvale's 29th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Greenvale's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
